Unless the Risk Disclosure Form is duly completed and signed, Participants will not be permitted to participate in the Zipline experience.

Check In

All Participants MUST check in promptly at their tour time – if participants have not arrived by their tour time, it shall be deemed a “No Show” and their participation on the tour shall be cancelled without refund.

Clothing

Zipline is an outdoor activity. Weather is changeable therefore all Participants must dress accordingly.

Physical Activity

Participation in the Zipline involves a 1.5km (approximately) walk along a designated walking track from the end of the Zipline back to EcoZip head office. The designated walking track is of slight gradient, uneven surface and may at times be wet and slippery. All Participants need to be of reasonable fitness to complete such walk. Participants must keep strictly to the designated walking track and are not permitted to deviate from such track in any circumstances.

Health

Zipline Adventures are designed for participants of average mobility, fitness and strength who are in reasonably good health. Obesity, high blood pressure, cardiac and coronary artery disease, pulmonary problems, pregnancy, arthritis, tendonitis, prior head, neck, or back injuries or other joint and muscular-skeletal problems may impair the safety and well-being of participants; as may other medical, physical, psychological and psychiatric problems (Conditions). All or any of these Conditions may increase the inherent risks of the experience and cause the Participant to be a danger to themselves or others.

Participants who suffer from any of the Conditions or any other underlying medical problems acknowledge that such conditions will put them at greater risk of injury or illness during a Zipline experience and must carefully consider those risks before choosing to participate. Participants must fully inform tour staff, on the Risk Disclosure form prior to the beginning of the tour if they suffer any of the Conditions or any other underlying medical conditions. EcoZip Adventures reserves the right to exclude any applicant from participation, for medical, safety, or other reasons.

Participants consent to receive any medical treatment which may be deemed necessary in the case of injury, accident or illness suffered while participating in the Zipline and to indemnify EcoZip Adventures against any claims in respect of such treatment.

EcoZip Adventures reserves the right to refuse participation to any individual believed to be affected by alcohol or drugs (including impairing prescription medication) and in such circumstances no refund will be provided.
